Can we have substr(date) as column name. I am trying to create a query where in I need to achieve something like this select s.xyz Today,s.abcd "6 Months ago" || to_char(add_months(sysdate,-6),'Mon rrrr') ||')'from sales_tab s.

I would like to have a column heading as follows in double inverted comma. but sqlplus environment returns column heading length equal to output value.
SQL> select substr('The independence day', 5,12) "Example of substr function" 2 from dual;
Example of s
------------
independence
I know that default column heading length is 30 character long.
but my column heading is less than 30 character long (which is 26)
How can i have column heading as Example of substr function?
I'm trying to work out how to take a table like this:
IDDate
12502-Feb-07
12516-Mar-07
12523-May-07
12524-May-07
12525-May-07
33302-Jan-09
33303-Jan-09
33304-Jan-09
33317-Mar-09
And display the data like this:
IDPeriodPeriod StartPeriod End
125102-Feb-0702-Feb-07
125216-Mar-0716-Mar-07
125323-May-0725-May-07
333102-Jan-0904-Jan-09
333217-Mar-0917-Mar-09
As you can see, it's split the entries into date ranges. If there is a 'lone' date, the 'period start' and the 'period end' are the same date.
I am not able to load complete date along with time in the date column. here is my table desc
DESC STAGE
Name Null Type

my control file is like this
LOAD DATA
APPEND
INTO TABLE SCOOP.STAGE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
( TABLE_NAME
,RECORDCOUNT
,CREATED_DATE DATE(16) "YYYYMMDDHH:Mi:SS"
)
the data gets loaded, but it appears like this in the table
HIGHSCHOOL3080606-JUN-12
MIDDLESCHOOL8768006-JUN-12
BUT I WANT COMPLETE DATE AND TIME (HH:MI:SS) , HOW CAN I GET IT (THIS IS HOW I WANT 06-JUN-12 11:07:33)
How can we partition a table based on date if it does not have a date column.
Actually I have to compare two tables on daily basis and fetch few rows from those two tables and enter it to a third table.But both these tables does not have a date column.
I am confused if i need to alter those tables and add date column or if there is some way in which i can compare the data from the two tables for that particular day only and not the whole table data.
i have a table with the following description
create table gl_periods(period_name varchar2(10),transactions number (2) );
with the data as :
period_name transactions

JAN-10 12
FEB-10 12

My requirment is to find out the period names and transactions which are in valid date formats and are less than sysdate and the non date formats are adjustments made by different users for their transactions

When I use the exchange partition method the parition is able to move the data from "monthly" table to "mth" table.
desc t1.mth; ### my temorary table
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
SEQ_NUM NUMBER(10)
DAY_DK NUMBER(10)
Than when I try to alter my temp table "mth". I get an error table must be empty to change column types.
alter table n546830.mth modify (DAY_DK date);
Next I tried making my temporary table "mth" a date column. When I an the exchange partition command I get the following error:
alter table t1.monthly exchange partition DEC_2012
with table t1.mth without validation;
alter table n546830.monthly exchange partition DEC_2012 with table n546830.mth without validation

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-14097: column type or size mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION
Method I can use to convert a number(10) to date column and keep the information in a table. Note, I don't care about HH:MM:SS as I never had that information to begin with and would be happy to set that part of the date column to all zeroes "00:00:00"

1) I would like to alter that code above and substr the back 68 characters only with the 12 spaces padded in front, and the trailing nulls to total 80 characters staying as is. How would I put the below substr into that piece of code above?
Desired Output ( 20100524 20100624 1MO/0DY )

Desired Output2 (ADJ#1-2M1YE2 TYPE)
No leading or trailing nulls and This is not a fixed amount of characters.

What I want to do is update '31-DEC-99' to '31-MAR-13' and for it to only effect '31-DEC-99' (the others are fine).

View 5 Replies View RelatedHow to select max value of date column which tables are having date coulmn.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs the index suggested on the date column.
Here is the nature of the date column in my case:
1. The table populates with 1000's of records every day with date being always incremental (current date).
2. The search criteria from the weba application (ADF) is based on the date, user gives the range.
3. From ADF I am referring to it as sql.Timestamp when building the query.
Does Index suggested on the date column here and if so what type of index ?
